Description
This heart plaque carries a line every cat owner already knows to be true: a house is not a home without a cat. The words are printed in black across a pale grey heart, mixing a curved script, tall capitals and a flowing italic, with two little paw prints beneath them. On the right of the heart sits a textured grey cat figure, seen from behind, with small black ears and a curling black tail drawn on the heart beside it. Made from MDF, it measures 11.6cm tall, 11.6cm across and 4cm deep, a neat size that fits easily on a crowded shelf.
Because the heart is cut thick enough to stand on its own, it needs no hook or nail: simply set it on a shelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a bedside table and turn it to face the room. It sits happily in a hallway, where it greets everyone who comes through the door, or in a living room near the spot where the cat likes to curl up. As a gift, it suits anyone who shares their home with a cat, from a friend with a new rescue kitten to a relative whose cat rules the household.
The heart has a smooth, matt finish in a soft warm grey, and the back is left plain, so it looks tidy from any angle. The raised cat has a pebble-like texture that catches the light and gives the piece a little depth. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, and keep it away from damp and steam, as MDF is best kept dry. For a thoughtful present, pair it with a card and a few treats for the cat, or group it with other small pieces on a shelf to make a little corner given over to the household's favourite resident.
